Notable changes¶
Content scheduling¶
Dxp
You can now schedule content on a Page to become visible at a specific time in the future.
To do this you can use the Schedule tab in any block's configuration or a special Content Scheduler block.
In the Schedule tab you can define when any block becomes visible and when it disappears from a Page.
Content Scheduler is a special block with a queue of Content items, each with its own airtime. The Content becomes available at the airtime, and is replaced with new Content items coming in from the queue.
All changes to scheduled content on a Page are visible in the timeline.
The timeline also shows other events, such a Content published using the date-based publisher.
